to establish an agency for their coal in

poses.
The UNPRECEDENTED fine weather We
are having is the subject OF comment
by everybody, and the opinion seems to
be entertained very generally that q
storm of any kind would be welcomed
as relief, and might allay the prevail
ing sickness.
THE SOCIAL season is just commenc-
ing TO open up, and the young and gay
have happy thoughts of the pleasures
the future has in store for them. Par
ties, both public and private, are be-
coming more frequent, and invitations
are crowding one upon another.

Hon. FRANKLIN s. RICHARDS and wife
left yesterday morning on the U. P. ex-
press for Washington, D.. 9. Mr.:
Richards mission is in the interest of
the delegates appointed by the Consti-
tutional Convention to present the

the recipient of large portion of the
esteem of the people of Utah, whose
interests he has at heart, and whom he
is specially qualified to represent, being
type of the noble sons which this Ter
ritory is producing:
THE MORE studious are preparing
to grasp the opportunities which the
winter season affords for study and ed
Vocational pursuits. The English Ian
guage is being taught by T. B. Lewis at
an evening class he has recently COM
menced, at the request of several per-
sons desirous of obtaining competent
instruction. The Mutual Improvement
Associations of the Third and Fifth
Wards have also classes organized
under their auspices, with voluntary
teachers, at which various branches OF
learning are being taught and eagerly
sought after by the members.
In certain music store of this city,
Thursday evening, might have been
seen pretty sight such as would tickle
most people, bit which would prove
decidedly embarrassing to the princi-
pals in the comedy. A pedestrian, while
vending his way homeward, was at
tracted to look through the glass win
dow of the door of the store, thinking,
as frequently happened, that few local
musical aspirants we're rehearsing some
tunes. Instead, however, of the sound
of the organ and violin greeting his
ears, his eyes were greeted by a young
man and young lady clasped in low
ing embrace, he seated upon chair,
she upon his lap. Both parties seemed
to enjoy the affair immensely, not ex-
cepting the pedestrian on the outside.
1t would be advisable when the couple
are again DESTROYS of enjoying them
selves in similar pastime, to take par
ticuIar notice that the blinds are COM
pletely drawn so as to exclude the vision
OF the curious.
A FEW days ago there sprang into ex-
istence a poultry society under the
name of the Utah Poultry Associa-
tion," the headquarters of which are in
Ogden, having for its object the intro
duction of a better breed of poul-
try into the Territory. With this
object Immediately in view, and
being DESTROYS of giving a slim
illus to the matter, the members
of the association intend, on Friday
and Saturday, December 23d and 9th,
to hold a grand exhibition of the
feathered tribe, and offer, as an induce
ment to poultry breeders to exhibit
specimens of their stock, premiums
amounting in the aggregate to $50. As
there are no entrance fees, and the adj
mission to the show being also free,
it requires no prophet to foretell that
the show will be success. Mr.. William
Browning. whose address is P. o.. Box
7I0, Ogden, is the gentleman authorized
to receive all entries from intending
confined to ancient people, nor yet to |
either sex. A young girl, aged about IL !
years, gave the store of James .Wother-
spoon, on Main Street, call yesterday,
and asked to be shown some winter |
coats. The obliging clerk at onceex-
hibited to her gaze the desired ar ticles, |
b ut none seemed to suit. She then re-
qlested to be shown other articles of |
feminine wear, but she failed to pur-
chase. AS the clerk went about his |
business of Strengthening up the cloaks |
which had been upset in the desire to |
please the expected customer, the girl |
took seat near to the stove ostensibly |
to warm herself. but in reality to "spot"
a number of articles which she intended |
to purloin. She presently left the store
unheeded and unnoticed by the clerk,
but with a coat and some hosiery in her |
possession. The girl also paid the store |
of John Scowcroft & Son a visit, and |
succeeded in taking from there a
tobboggan and two pair OF shoes. 1t |
appears that the girl has been in SER

her to act in the manner indicated, as
